Welcome to amanda hayden photography

I have been drawn to photographs for as long as I can remember. There was something so surreal in how time would stand still on paper. With the click of a shutter the world could stop. That moment forever remained. I get so excited about every chance I have to snap photos and am always looking for ways to be unique and creative with what I do. I strive to capture life as it happens. Some fun tidbits about me...

- I wear flip flops until it snows, and the snow has to stick!
- I have a 1 year old who is FULL of personality and is the center of my world!
- I used to live and work in the Dominican Republic
- I'm addicted to Pinterest!
- I have 6 tattoos
- I'm training for a marathon (EEK!)
- I LOVE taking pictures!

{tied} Cheers to Canada

This past summer I decided to really step out and do something I’ve never done before! I shot my FIRST WEDDING!!! EEP! I can’t even begin to tell you just how nervous I was! Luckily, I was extremely fortunate to meet an amazing couple, and we got along right away! They were just so in love, so happy. It wasn’t 3 minutes into the day that I was relaxed and excited! Filled with adrenalin! Being with the couple throughout their day made me so happy that I was chosen to capture memories for them that will last a lifetime! We got to walk around the beautiful grounds at Strathmere and even played a little in the corn fields! At the end of the speeches, the couple is thanking everyone for their support and love, and raises their glass to cheer Canada. It stopped me for a moment, and I took a moment to reflect. I couldn’t agree with them more. Thank You Canada, what a great country you are to allow us to show that love is love. Plain and simple. Strong and Free.
